Thank you so much for the update to this story. It's absolutely brilliant.
(Sorry about posting all these reviews to your stories at once - I've been reading them for the last year or so, and today I finally decided to get an account, specifically so that I can thank you for your amazing work here - you could actually even do eBooks or something with these, I would definitely quite happily pay for these, they're that good.)

Yep, this is probably gonna get me back into the Buffy fandom again. Us Bangel fans may be few, but there is a some kickass stories of them lol. Like this one. I'll patiently wait for the next installment!

Much less awkward and angsty than I expected! I'm glad Giles and Xander weren't too much insensitive jerks about Angel. I feel like that happens way too often in B/A fics - they're just beating the subject into the ground instead of grudgingly accepting him. Loved the conversation between Buffy and Angel about how he is most attracted to her when she is showing strength in resisting her dark side and how it inspires him. Very sweet moment! And being more comfortable about the biting thing - yay character development! Very interested to see where the research into both Oz's wolfy side and Angel's soul goes.
Can't wait for more!

I do live the Angel/Oz thing going on. I think they should have touched on that a bit more on the show. I do love the fact that you made Buffy really mature and compassionate, makes it easier to picture it. love this chapter but the last one was my all time fav so far, cause how can we live life without our Daddy.

I always thought that out of everyone Oz would understand Angel best of all, since they both had to fight against a demonic side of themselves they had no choice or control over. Buffy is really impressive with her ability to understand any empathize with Angel (or really almost anyone) but I always wished the show would've given us some really interesting Oz and Angel friendship scenes where they were able to talk with each other in a really open way about their different but very similar curses. Lovely chapter, always happy to get an update! :D

Reader chapter 13 . 6/15

Very glad to see you are continuing this story! I look forward to seeing how this continues, especially now that the number of deviations from canon are starting to really add up, particularly with regards to the Initiative/Riley storylines

Eeek another update! I absolutely love your writing of Angelus. I could really see the conversation he had with Buffy actually happening. The line about how deep down Buffy is "much less tame"...chills! That conversation about satisfying Angel's darker urges will be very interesting to revisit as they deal with the Angelus fallout! Can't wait to see how everyone recovers from this one!

YAY! Another update! And so soon! I'm thrilled. This whole thing is brilliant, just one thing: you're right that Gaelic is Scottish, but it's actually Irish as well. There's two versions, Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic (which is sometimes called just Irish). I only know because my family has both Scottish and Irish roots. But you are right in that when people say "Gaelic" without distinguishing, technically, they are referencing to the Scottish version of the language. Though, from what I know, the two are pretty similar.

But god...Angelus and Giles...that scene. I'm so full of tension now! I cannot wait for the next update!
